Oxygen treatment methods from the 1920s are still being used to treat patients

This is inaccurate, time consuming, and expensive for society

Oxygen therapy today

Oxygen therapy as we know it today is based on a 100-year-old method, where manual adjustments are made to try to keep the patient’s oxygen saturation within a certain range as both too much and too little oxygen can be harmful. It is difficult to dose accurately, as levels of oxygen in the blood can rise and fall in a matter of moments. In addition, the patient only receives the correct oxygen dosage in just under half of the time. If the patient does not receive the correct dosage, there is a risk of tissue damage, inhibited breathing, or the need for respiratory treatment.

Oxygen therapy time consuming

Oxygen treatment is traditionally performed by manually reading the flowmeter and adjusting the patient’s oxygen level by turning a pressure regulator. Medical staff will typically repeat this adjustment up to
30 times per patient per day – a huge demand on the department’s limited time.

Expensive for society

An estimated 328 million people suffer from the lung-disease Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, COPD. When a COPD patient is admitted, many man-hours of the nursing staff are used for the monitoring of and countless manual adjustments to their oxygen levels. Furthermore, the imprecise dosing of oxygen can create unforeseen complications, both lengthening hospitalisation and increasing the mortality rate and in 2025, COPD is expected to become the leading cause of death. 1)

Bringing oxygen therapy into the digital age

CE marked
O2matic PRO 100 and HOT 100 are IIB-classed medical devices and are CE marked by TÜV SÜD.
O2matic ApS is ISO13485 certified.

Introducing automatic oxygen titration

A Danish-developed, automated system that optimizes oxygen therapy by continuously monitoring the patient’s condition and administering oxygen accordingly.

This advanced automated system ensures precise and effective oxygen delivery in both hospital and home settings. By keeping the patient’s oxygen saturation levels within the optimal range, it improves Our technology significantly improves patient safety and comfort.

Both the HOT 100, designed for home use, and the PRO 100, adapted for hospital use, deliver accurate oxygen therapy based on real-time data and the patient’s ongoing needs.

The HOT 100 enables patients to receive stable oxygen therapy in their own homes, while the PRO 100 supports healthcare professionals’ efforts with precision and reliability in hospitals. Both systems were developed in collaboration with hospitals in Denmark.

Major savings for hospitals and national healthcare costs

The introduction of automated oxygen therapy allows medical staff to perform other tasks and use their time more efficiently. In addition, the length of hospital stay can be shortened and the number of adverse events significantly reduced.

Testimonials

From my own personal experience of using a manual oxygen flowmeter and then an O2matic automated oxygen machine, I would unequivocally recommend the O2matic for anyone with any breathing issues, of any kind.

Pneumocystis pneumonia patient, Roskilde Hospital

We are using the O2Matic at the moment on our COPD patients who need tight targeted oxygen monitoring and it is proving useful. It is a great device and very happy with it at the moment.

Doctor, London

I found that the staff was thrilled. I especially remember a patient who always desaturated when she had to get out of bed – but even managed toilet visits after she got the robot.

Nurse from COVID-19 section, Slagelse Hospital

I feel safe with the oxygen robot. Can I take it home for use with my home oxygen?

Patient admitted to Roskilde Hospital

We believe these devices could significantly increase patient safety, provide patients with additional reassurance and bring the additional benefit of more quickly ‘weaning’ patients off their oxygen flow needs, shortening their length of stay.

Queen's Hospital, England

We had the vaccination programme, but [the O2matic] was the biggest reason staff sickness rates fell.

Jan Dalberg, chief physician in pulonology and responsible for COVID ward at Kolding Hospital

We phased out a patient from 10 l of O2 to 0 l, in 2 hours using O2matic. Something that can usually take several days.

Nurse at the pulmonary ward, Roskilde Hospital

Our experience so far has been, that the risk of severe desaturation (acute oxygen depletion) in patients, is reduced markedly when using the O2matic devices, as compared to conventional solutions… Additionally, the workload for the ward nurses, seems to be much reduced.
